A Little About Us

Our Company History

Tyko Development is a Vancouver based fully integrated real estate developer guided by our core values of family, integrity, vision and innovation.

Our co-founder, Ken (P.Eng) worked as a project manager in urban planning for the city of Vancouver for 10 years. He had a dream to build homes and run his own company. In 2011, he teamed up with his brother-in-law Jack, a home renovator and together they founded Tyko Development. Tyko is a family business with family values always willing to help others out. We learnt the industry from the ground up. Starting with only 1 residential home to now where we complete 10+ homes a year and have begun developing mixed used commercial properties.

Check out Block 36 to see our flagship mixed-use commercial building. It is part of the revitalized Victoria Drive.

We spoke to many developers prior to building our house in 2015, but finally decided to go with Tyko. I have referred a couple of neighbors to have Tyko build their house and Laneway house. I have no doubt they will continue to provide great quality homes. Thanks Jack and Ken for building our dream home.

Had a home built by Tyko in 2013. Contract was very detailed, easy to read & home was built on time. Price was reasonable & no hidden costs popped up as house was built. Jack & Ken on site every day and promptly answered all my calls, texts, emails. Over the past 6 yrs they keep in touch periodically to see how everything is going and came to the rescue in 2017 when the tenant damaged the basement. Highly recommend them to others and will do business with them again.

Pat M.

In the decision to rebuild our house , we had no clue how to start. Fortunately, my friend recommended Jack from Tyko to me. The first time we met Jack, he explained to us in great details about the entire process and costs of rebuilding the house. Thank you Tyko for building a wonderful house for us.

WIll always recommend Tyko for any building construction project. First saw the big Tyko residential construction sign a few years ago on a property of a beautifully built home. Then saw a few more around the city. Quality speak volumes about a company. So decided to go with Tyko. 7 months later our laneway house is finished. Rented out and we are very happy, so are our tenants. Thanks guys!

Jack and Ken built our home on time and with no unexpected costs. Jack is always willing to help and answered all our questions. They both kept us informed during the whole building process. We would recommend them and would use them again.

Martin Jang

We hired Tyko to build our first ever home in 2016. I felt I was lucky to do business with Ken and Jack. They very patiently guided us throughout the building process smoothly. Jack was always there to answer all our questions and solve problems. I would recommend Tyko to my friends and would have business again with them if I have the chance.
